The worst meal I’ve ever had. Burger dry and underseasoned, fries soggy and stale, waffle grainy and dry. Meal is barely edible and to add insult to injury it all cost $50 USD for this atrocity. Regret not reading reviews first

TLDR: If you can spare the time, eat at one of the eateries BEFORE you go through security at this airport because otherwise, you’ll end up like me and have to choose between two of the lowest rated restaurants to ever be considered

The paper menu lists way more dishes than what they actually have to offer. Scan the QR code on the table to at least not be disappointed by the options they actually have

-[BRISKET SANDWICH]
Can’t remember the exact price for this but it states on the online menu that it comes with a choice of fries or salad. They’re fooling you as it only comes with extremely crunchy (stale?) chips. The brisket amount is a sizeable portion but tastes like the kind you get at Walmart where you just toss the plastic bag it comes in into a pot of hot water before serving… The bun also tastes like it came from Walmart as well

-[WINGS]
Can’t recall the exact price but I mean….look at the size of those wings??? They look like they took the wings off of underdeveloped chickens 🙁 Also, the wing sauce isn’t actually even tossed onto the wings at all.

Service was good though as the man tending bar was also the one who served us – he was friendly despite the fact that I’m sure he wishes he could work anywhere else but there

This place should be called Worst Times. I have eaten at many airports in this world and this one by far is the worst food and service I’ve ever had. I know you may hate your job but at least give it a golden try to be polite and courteous. When the app didn’t have the selection it stated it would have I went to ask the server and I was rudely greeted with “WHAT??” As she was enjoying her chicken wings, which I might add the sauce of the said chicken wings ended up on my napkin and fork when she brought them to the table. Now let’s see if I can describe the food without vomiting in my mouth. The fries were old and hard and I thought I was going to lose multiple teeth trying to chew them. And the burger was not worth twenty bucks, it was slapped together and was barely eatable. And we ordered sprite and were brought coke. Each interaction we were polite and said thank you and were met with barely a smile. I think because they know it’s really the only option to eat food they really don’t care because who’s their competition? I think this place needs new management and staff, because it’s clearly not being run correctly. No I correct that. It’s not being run at all. I’d give negative stars if I could. DON’T EAT HERE!!! If you are flying out of B terminal then I’d give yourself extra time and eat prior to arriving. Trust me you’ll thank me for it.

My family stopped here waiting for our flight to London. The establishment really lived up to its name “unusual times” the food was highly unusual indeed! A journey to hell for the tastebuds . The only unusual times was the waiting times and my food looked like it had been alive not 5 mins before it was served to me .the workers seem depressed to be there every day, times like these call for Google to add a 0 star option

As one of the previous reviewers pointed out, one does not go to an airport restaurant expecting a high quality food, but this place will disappoint you regardless of how low your bar is.
A $22 burger that is listed with an option of fries or salad on the menu does not actually have that choice and only comes with chips.
The burger itself contains a slim strip of pork not even covering the whole bun. The meat is also cold. Avoid the place and bring your own stuff or get snacks from the kiosks. At least you’ll know what to expect.

They are a pack of thieves. My mom and I went here for a quick brunch awaiting a flight from Newark Airport to Ottawa. The service was lousy and the tip reflected that. After looking at my credit card bill, they doubled the tip I had originally authorized. The woman who worked with us was Carmen. I always round my tipping so the final amount is a rounded number. She was given a tip of $5.72 and she bumped it up to $10. My bill came to $52.68 and she gave herself a $10 tip. I have a copy of the receipt (always keep your receipts). This kind of scam happens all the time.

I will be calling in as this is theft and fraud. Do not eat here. You get mediocre food for a huge price point.

I recently visited The Unusual Place in Newark Airport before my flight to London and was dismayed by the poor service provided to their customers. The servers were consistently rude, making guests wait and ignoring them. Unfortunately, the quality of the food did not redeem the experience. It’s disheartening that such a place exists, and I believe Newark Airport should consider taking action to replace it with an establishment that cares about its customers. Shame on The Unusual Place for its lackluster service and overall negative experience.
This is how we treat our quests when they leave USA? Or our Citizens?

Probably the worst meal I’ve ever had at an airport: overcooked chicken on white bread with mildly melted cheese

This place is super lucky to get 3 stars. If you come here you will quickly understand why it currently has a 1.5 on google. Yuck! Slow service. High prices. Nothing to look at. Too quite music. Just ok food. Loved my cheddar and broccoli soup. BLT was quite bland. Here were bits of food floating in my beer. I’m not sure if it was from me, or if it came with the goose island. I hope it’s the former.

Waited 30 mins for a chicken caesar salad, even though I had been the only person in the restaurant.

Once it came out, guy said I couldn’t sit in to eat because I had ordered from the go-to QR code menu. Bruh, who cares, the restaurant is basically empty, and I didn’t know that was the go to menu, which is literally the same as the sit in menu!!

Salad was sad. As others recommend, eat before you come through security.
